Parking Enforcement

We are responsible for the enforcement of parking regulations both on and off-street throughout the district. We carry out enforcement on-street on behalf of Kent County Council.

Although parking contraventions have been de-criminalised, they have not been de-legalised and it therefore remains an illegal act to park in contravention of the regulations.

Enforcement of the parking regulations across Dover district is carried out by our team of Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs). They do not have any performance targets in terms of the numbers of Penalty Charge Notices for parking contraventions that they issue. 

Parking enforcement is carried out for a number of reasons, including pedestrian safety, which is particularly important outside schools. 

Abusing a Parking Officer is a criminal Offence

Any abuse of a CEO carrying out their duties may amount to a criminal offence, and all incidents will be reported to Kent Police.
